CoronaVirus and What's Happening Where You Live?

[Bec]

I have to admit, I'm more than a little scared. I'm over 60 with heart disease and diabetes...

Sources around here in Cuyahoga County, OH say these cases are just the introduction and that it will soon sky rocket. Any public gatherings like sporting events and theater have been canceled. Schools are closed for at least 3 weeks. People at the stores are going nut-so, buying up bottled water and toilet paper!

If we are put into a forced lock down situation I can see needing the toilet paper, plus a lot of non perishables, but not the water. You can use bleach to sanitize water to be drinkable, and the ratio is easy to find on the internet. But everyone being sick doesn't mean we loose utilities... does it?

I literally got the last package of toilet paper at the Aldi's store yesterday. We just happened to stop in for some fresh veggies and couldn't believe what we were seeing. Canned goods were totally wiped out, not a can of beans or spaghetti O's to be seen! You probably still have time to stock up but ... Don't forget the pets!

While stores will do their best to keep restocking, the problems will come if delivery sources get interrupted.

The thing that makes this insane is we are the richest country in the world, and we're buying everything in sight.

So how's things in your neck of the woods?

After TES Lisbon/Cascais, I came to Madrid. Never been here before, and it was the shortest distance by plane to somewhere else.

Spain is on lockdown. Everything is closed tight, except Grocery.
Even McDs and Burger King!
And a few Pharmacies.

I've got good Internet, and I'm keeping busy.
I've been to one of my 4 favorite Grocery stores, almost daily.

I'm getting stuff done online. Updating scripts since I've migrated so much data management to Google Sheets.

We are in a community quarantine for a month. And as much as I dont want to get panic, I am really alarmed on how fast the rise of those who are infected especially there is already a local transmission.

[fluorine]

We have specialized community quarantine ongoing, I hope 100% would cooperate to stop the spread of the virus.

[Bec]

We have a shitload of college kids out partying for Spring Break. When authorities try and get them to disperse they are carrying on that they are young, they won't die so why should they quarantine themselves. These are the ones that are going to spread this virus to their siblings, parents, older citizens, etc etc.

How the hell did this kind of stupid - selfish - irresponsible - disrespectful (insert a lot more adjectives) youth = become our future college graduates?

Anyways, stay safe and you can learn how to make no knead bread online. Just go get some active yeast packets and a really big bag of flour!

[nickbaer]

When the kids spread it to grandma and grandpa, there isn't going to be any more Christmases.

[Bec]

My household did a self imposed 18 day quarantine, so we know we don't have it. Doesn't mean we can't still get it. The local numbers of infected are doubling every day.

It was risky, but we did head out to the Home Depot to get some starter plants, seeds and container potting soil. I don't expect to grow enough to feed us for a year, but I can at least look forward to some healthy, homegrown produce to cook with. I stocked up on canned goods, but fresh is always best!

Prez Trump finally got a clue that this is NOT just the flu. He's actually "thinking" of announcing a full lock-down of the entire country.

The only thing we need to do here is pickup some meds at the pharmacy tomorrow and then we're done dealing with exposure risks.

Stay safe everyone!

My tentative plans are to return to Bucharest soon.

I - and the property manager in Bucharest - are watching official sources, for stage-by-stage easing of travel restrictions here in Madrid, and there in Bucharest.

Another big concern: will they be able to hold XBIZ Berlin, and TES Prague, in mid-September.
Venus Berlin got cancelled.
I love both shows. A little pricey, but so many super nice people.

Bucharest Summit was June last year, now scheduled for September, stepping on the toes of the XBIZ Berlin show.
No peep out of them yet. That is a younger show, having a lot of Cam models.

Bcams.ro is first week of November.
That one has a better chance, unless there is a relapse period, where the virus re-invents itself.

[Bec]

This is by no means over I'm afraid. Just keep a mask on when in stores, no more shaking hands, and keep washing those hands!

[nickbaer]

Still in State of Alarm here in Spain. So I am here maybe another month.

Previous major accomplishment was to get over a dozen scripts written,
that process Webcam platform XML/JSON Model Feeds,
for my live cam affiliate pages. https://livecam.coach-karl.com/

Before that, I got 18 of the fan/clip sites that I am on, organized https://fans.coach-karl.com/.
And then 4-5 more popped up!

Big accomplishment this week was to (finally) get a Social media scheduling account going!
I now have Tweets, and Facebook, and Pinterest and Google Business scheduled for the next month.
And more ready to go after that.

My my ... you have been busy!! And here I had considered getting my bedroom cleaned up a major accomplishment!

[nickbaer]

Yesterday's project was the culmination of weeks of thought into putting one of those "Copy Text to Clipboard" buttons
on one of my internal social media posting preparation pages.

When I sat down to do it after dinner last night, it took 3 1/2 hours.

The first 3 hours was trial-and-error, trying and rejecting all sorts of complicated java stuff, requiring separate .css and .js files, included by the .php page. What a headache of overkill.

Final project was about 12 lines of .php and equivalent java, all on the same .php page.

I like it, Twitter likes it.
So now, on to the next project.
One day at a time.

I am still in Madrid, but the UK is on the horizon for August-October.

[Bec]

Well, I hope travel bans start to lift where you are. Many places and countries aren't allowing US citizens to visit now that our cases are skyrocketing.

Several coronavirus vaccines against the virus have now been approved for use, either by individual countries or groups of countries, such as the European Union and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Of the 140 countries and territories administering vaccines and publishing rollout data, 64 are high-income nations, 67 are middle-income and nine low-income.

The map below, using figures collated by Our World in Data - a collaboration between Oxford University and an educational charity - shows the total number of doses given per 100 people, mostly first doses.
